The book Who Told You That You Were Naked? A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden written by William E. Combs, truly took me on an exciting excursion starting back in the Garden of Eden and interestingly ending at where I am today. The author sought to allow his readers to come along with him and literally live in that time, taking note, and critically examining what transpired in the garden at that time in respect of what the bible reported, and also, what the author perceived may have happened. The book took the reader through the creation, the fall, the separation from God (man's creator), the redemption of mankind and faith, the recipe for a totally victorious life according to the author. It clearly explained key factors such as what sin really is. The misconceptions of faith. The author used the scriptures amply to support his reasoning.

I like this book very much. It has cause me to have a clearer understanding of sin and also of faith even though I have practiced biblical doctrines all my life it has given me a new, note-worthy perspective never observed or heard of before. I like the way in which the author allowed the reader to easily follow what is being said because of the backup of scriptures and also by sharing his personal experiences used as evidence. This book has made the fundamental doctrines of Christianity easy to understand as it relates to our life. I also enjoyed the writers use of words. This kept the book interesting thereby making it easy to read.

I particularly did not enjoy reading the introduction because I do not like reading about outhouses, and, I could not see how that experience of the writer related to the topic. Therefore it was initially difficult to get pass the introduction. However I was happy to see how the author was able to mesh that experience of his to our own quest of understanding Christianity in its relation to what transpired at the beginning, in the Garden of Eden.

Since this book was able to re-examine the cause of the fall of man, his need for restoration, the key to living above that reproach in a logical and systemic manner, I will strongly recommend it to everyone, especially to those who are interested in finding their purpose on this earth, as well as, to all who seek to understand Christianity and how to apply its principles.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
